ჴიდი

Old Georgian

Etymology

From Proto-Georgian-Zan *qid-, which is probably an apophonic nominal derivative from Proto-Kartvelian *qed-, *qd- (verb stem) (whence also ხდომა (xdoma), გადახდა (gadaxda), გახდა (gaxda), etc). Schmidt and Mač̣avariani accept the ultimate Kartvelian origin.

On the other hand, Abaev and Androniḳašvili suggest an Iranian etymology ultimately from Old Iranian *haitu- (compare Ossetian хид (xid, “bridge”)), but this is considered improbable by Klimov and rejected by Cheung.
